26 Oct 2013 – Open Day at the Barnett Block

Posted on 2 October, 2013 by Connecting Country

John and Jenny Barnett, passionate advocates for the environment, died on Black Saturday in 2009. Now, their legacy lives on with the establishment of a new conservation area, the Barnett Block which is located near Wedderburn. This is a new addition to the existing Nardoo Hills Reserve, Bush Heritage Australia’s largest property in Victoria.

On 26 October members of the public are invited to visit the Barnett Block. A map and details of the day which includes a free BBQ lunch are in this flyer. The event has been organised by Trust for Nature and is supported by the North Central CMA and Bush Heritage.

You can view a story about purchase of the Barnett block and its environmental values in this Age article entitled ‘Rising from the ashes’.
